ABSTRACT:
A front body structure of a vehicle includes a pair of retractable head lamps, a pair of retractable head lamp covers for covering the retractable head lamps, a pair of drive motors for driving the retractable head lamps and the retractable head lamp covers, a radiator shroud upper member disposed on a front side of an engine compartment and extending laterally with respect to a vehicle body, a cross member disposed below the radiator shroud upper member and extending laterally with respect to the vehicle body, and two side connecting members for connecting the radiator shroud upper member with the cross member, each of the drive motors being mounted on one of the side connecting members. The thus constructed front body structure has advantages in that it is possible to prevent the number of parts for mounting the drive motors from being increased and it is possible to markedly increase the rigidity of the portions on which the drive motors are mounted, since each of the drive motors is mounted on one of the side connecting members secured to the radiator shroud upper member and the cross member which are standard members for constructing the front body of a vehicle and have extremely high rigidity.
